Meet Nina Lively, an 11-week-old Lab / Boxer mix, weighing 18 pounds (as of 5/6/26). Nina and her littermates, the LIVELY bunch, were dumped out in a rural Tennessee area that's known for dumping dogs. How rude! Despite their rough start, the Lively girls know they're destined for a loving home in New England with you. Nina is a lovely girl with a glowing personality. In fact, it's so bright, she even glows in the dark! No one will ever be afraid of a spooky night with this beauty around. Sweet, playful and loving, Nina will melt every heart she meets. She would fit into any family and instantly make every day lively. The Lively girls are true sweethearts that hope to have fur-ever homes where they can learn the ropes (potty, leashing, crates, etc. ) with all the love and patience in the world. They get along with other dogs and while they haven't met kids or cats yet, it's never too late for an introduction! Add some liveliness and love to your home today! All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. All dogs require professional training to become the best family member they can be.

Their information is correct to the best of our abilities and the information we have been given as of the day of posting. From time to time we receive new information/photos of a dog and we do recreate their listing, which means their old listing link will no longer be valid. If you are considering a dog but don't apply right away please make sure to search for the dog by name if the link you have no longer works. Please note, GDRNE does not guarantee the breed of any dog or puppy unless stated that we have run DNA. All breeds listed are educated estimates. Note that if the dog is listed as an "Out of town pet" there are NOT additional transport fees - it is included in our adoption fee Our dogs are rescued from various situations. It is most likely that both their parents were strays and even if not, mixes of some sort and that their grandparents were mixes as well. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them a breed all their own - a True and adorable American MUTT. If you are interested in this dog, you must submit an application. Great Dog is not a shelter so there is no building you can visit. Our dogs live in private foster homes until adopted.
